Public benefits
The direct benefit flowing from the charity’s purposes is the advancement of health or the saving of lives. This is done through the provision of mobile aeroponic plant based growing systems for civilian populations living in contemporary areas of conflict (i.e., Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan). The benefit of this activity is specifically focused toward
the intended outcomes of: • Minimising exposure to hunger, • Supporting the prevention of conflict and post conflict disease profiles such as cancer, • Beginning the restoration of community life through co-operative plant growing programmes, • Providing individualised purpose and responsibility for displaced civilian communities. These benefits will be demonstrated through a combination of qualitative and quantitative based approaches that will form the method structure and baseline of data that will inform the charity’s annual report. From the qualitative perspective it is intended to: • Conduct briefing and debriefing of all forward deployment teams. • Conduct semi-structured interviews with members of the mission target group. • Organise, collate and analyse qualitative data gathered from these briefings, debriefings and interviews in NVivo analysis software. From the quantitative perspective it is intended to: • Gather questionnaire survey data from a broader sample of the mission target group. • Convert gathered qualitative data from briefings, debriefings and interviews into quantitative data that will be analysed in SPSS software in order to deliver detailed descriptive statistical analysis. The charity’s purposes are of a beneficial nature and not harmful to the public or section of the public in any way. The charity’s beneficiaries are defined as ‘individuals and communities, living in contemporary conflict areas where access to food is restricted and/or contamination caused by exploded and unexploded ordnance may be present’. The only private benefit flowing from the purpose of this charity is related to the long-term licenced use of the nanofarm® brand and mobile growing system. This use is both incidental and necessary for the charity to operate. The private benefit is incidental because the nanofarm® licence was designed, tested and financed by a different organisation (Arma Group Ltd). This development predated the application for charitable registration for Nanofarm Ltd. The private benefit arises at a company level because the CEO of Nanofarm Ltd. is also the managing director of Arma Group Ltd. To manage any potential conflict of interest, a policy has been drawn up and included at section 15 of the attached Nanofarm Ltd. Approach to Business Strategy Document.
